Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
A major review of NHS maternity services in England found repeated failures, with women not being listened to and no learning from mistakes. The report recommends appointing a new maternity commissioner, setting minimum safety standards, and overhauling triage. The health secretary said enough is enough, and a plan is due in December. The government also announced plans requiring asylum seekers granted leave to repay up to £10,000 towards accommodation costs once they earn above a threshold, as part of a new immigration bill. Meanwhile, outgoing Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced an extra £15 billion for defence over four years, focusing on drones and autonomous systems, with annual spending set to reach £80 billion by 2029.
Sentencing for domestic murders committed at home will change, with a new minimum of 25 years instead of 15, after a campaign by mothers whose daughters were killed by former partners. In Venezuela, rescue teams continue searching rubble after a major earthquake, with the UN warning deaths could reach 10,000; over 1,700 are confirmed dead. At Wimbledon, Serena Williams is making her singles comeback after nearly four years away, with her first-round match yet to begin as the defending champion survived a scare on Centre Court.
